Aphrodite put down the half-pinched clay puppet, and the Nymph Fairy in the Fire Temple brought clean water to him to wash.

Aphrodite slowly dried her fingers with a cloth towel, and said to Hermes: "I understand, thank you for your perception, we will go to the Temple of the God King later, do you have anything else?"

Hermes nodded, and his eyes quickly swept across Hephaestus' face: "Well, I have to inform the other great gods."

Aphrodite smiled and said, "Then say goodbye."

After Hermes left, Aphrodite slowly raised her eyebrows, her expression indifferent.

Hephaestus asked, "Your Highness, are you unhappy?"

Aphrodite chuckled, he raised his delicate eyebrows slightly, and asked gently, "Is there anything I should be happy about?"

Hephaestus hesitated: "We will be in the temple of human neutrality, and human beings will be dedicated to our faith?"

Aphrodite's expression was light: "But the new human beings have just been born, they have just been born, and the order around them has not yet been established. Today, they do not need love, reproduction, business, etc. The only thing they need is Demeter's agricultural priesthood, expecting Demeter to give them more plentiful food."

"If Demeter can build a temple among humans, then when food is plentiful, humans will also have the leisure to come out to worship the gods and dedicate to their beliefs."

"But Demeter was asked by Zeus to not build a temple among humans because of the previous Saturn pillar, although Zeus did not allow her to stop the growth of crops, but she is the god of agriculture, and some do it to allow crops to grow but not Bad harvest."

"In such a situation, the new humans can't even solve the basic food problem, so how can they have the heart to worship the gods? And if the gods can't receive the faith from humans, how do you think the gods will treat this group of people? New humans?"

Hephaestus' face was a little ugly, and he murmured, "The King of God is a little too eager..."

Aphrodite nodded and threw the towel on the tray, he stood up and said, "But this has nothing to do with us, he can do whatever he wants, but you should prepare yourself mentally in advance, don't be right There is so much hope for the faith that humanity has contributed."

Hephaestus nodded.

Aphrodite thought, in fact, even if there is no such thing as Demeter, there may not be many human offerings to the gods.

They are different from the former group of silver humans who were brought to the world by Demeter from the Mount of Olympus, and everything has to start from scratch.

After all, human beings have no divine power, so they can only bury their heads and work hard in many things. In addition, human beings have a puppy stage, and it often takes about a hundred years to establish a relatively stable system.

But the gods can't wait for a hundred years. They are aloof and omnipotent, and they will not understand the difficulties of human beings.

And the Pandora's Box disaster in the memory of the goddess of love also came.

In the memory of the goddess of love, Demeter did not limit the growth of crops too much, but it takes a year and a half for crops to grow into a year and a half. Humans relied on hunting to maintain food and clothing at the beginning.

At that time, Zeus also began to ask for human faith early, and also asked humans to sacrifice prey to him.

But human beings can't even maintain their own food and clothing, so how can they be willing to offer their prey to the gods?

So Prometheus, the protector of the new human beings, taught them to fool Zeus with beef bones wrapped in oil, but Zeus was not a fool. So that human beings no longer have to rely on fire to grill their prey to eat, keep warm, etc...

Later, Prometheus stole the unextinguished sun fire from Apollo's chariot and kept it as a fire for mankind. After being discovered by Zeus, he was sent by Zeus to be caught on the Caucasus Mountain, and his limbs and nails were tied with chains. Into the flesh, endure the hardships of the wind and the sun, and have to be eaten by the Caucasian condor every day.

But this is only a punishment for Prometheus. Zeus did not forgive those humans who dared to deceive and fool him after punishing Prometheus.

Zeus summoned the gods and sent Pandora, a symbol of human nightmares, to the leader of the new human being, Prometheus' younger brother Epimetheus.

Pandora, who was endowed with a strong curiosity by him, released what Zeus called a 'gift' among the human beings - a nightmare sealed by the gods, and the new human beings went extinct.

And the human situation in his world is worse than in the memory of the goddess, and the tragedy of "Pandora's Box" will definitely be staged again.

Aphrodite thought of what happened to Prometheus and decided to find an opportunity to communicate with him before Pandora was sent to the Terran.

After thinking about it, Aphrodite and Hephaestus said, "Your Highness, let's go to the Palace of the God King."

Hephaestus frowned and nodded with a sigh.

Aphrodite noticed his strangeness and asked with concern, "Hephaestus, are you having any troubles?"

Hephaestus hesitated, and Aphrodite picked up Cupid over there and asked with a smile, "Is it something I can't know?"

Hephaestus shook his head quickly: "No... I'm just a little worried about Prometheus. If humans can't dedicate their faith to the gods, I'm afraid that he will be rebuked by the gods as a defender of humans."

Aphrodite said thoughtfully, "How is your relationship with Prometheus?"

Hephaestus shook his head: "It can't be considered good, but it's not bad. We chatted a few times occasionally, and then we came and went a little more. He didn't have the uncomfortable feeling that the gods have."

Aphrodite thought for a while and said: "If the gods want to establish a temple in the human race, they must always summon a new human creation and inform him. After the council is over, you can invite him, and then we will ask one of his ideas."

Hephaestus looked at him with some surprise, and some joyful colors flashed in his eyes.

"I'm a little interested in this prophet." Aphrodite held Cupid in her arms, Cupid hugged his neck, lay on top of him, facing Hephaestus, he squinted, looked at him curiously.

Hephaestus was stunned for a while, and replied softly, "Okay."

They walked towards the temple of the god king, and when they arrived, there were already many gods gathered in the temple.

They gathered together and whispered, although the joy in their expressions was not obvious, but it could be seen that they were still looking forward to their belief in human beings.

Aphrodite supported Basso, while Cupid played by himself in the temple.

The gods still remembered the fact that he used the golden arrow to make the death brothers fall in love with each other, and hurriedly avoided him when they saw him flying over with the golden bow.

Cupid didn't think that everyone was rejecting him, but he was happy that everyone feared him, respected him, and pretended to be dangling in front of the gods with a golden bow.

The more he swayed around the gods, the more uncomfortable he became, but Aphrodite was there, and the power of Cupid's golden arrow was indeed so frightening that the gods didn't dare to scold him.

Cupid thought it was fun for the gods to hide from him. He grinned and played with the gods with arrows. You chased after the gods until the gods arrived. The honorable god king and god queen were also accompanied by the two goddesses. long overdue.

After all the gods were seated, Cupid quietly flew to Aphrodite's side and sat down on the throne.

Zeus frowned and looked at him, and said to Aphrodite unhappy: "Aphrodite, Cupid's golden bow can affect the gods, you should control him well so that he doesn't have those golden arrows all day long. Bullshit."

Aphrodite said indifferently: "Cupid's priesthood is blind love. Since it is blind, of course it is "chaotic" and uncontrolled. I respect his priesthood characteristics "nature"."

Cupid kept nodding and glared at Zeus angrily, this bad god actually told him the father, damn it!

Zeus frowned at him, and sneered: "Be careful that one day you yourself are caught in his trick, and you will regret it at that time!"

Aphrodite raised her eyebrows, she couldn't deny it, and said softly: "The love between two hearts is pleasant and brings joy to people. Even if you blindly love someone, you won't feel pain."

Hera nodded in agreement, and Zeus glanced at her inexplicably.

Gaia stared at Cupid's pair of wings, and asked in disbelief, "How come Cupid has two more pairs of wings?"

Cupid proudly raised his chest, flapped his wings and flew in the air, saying what Aphrodite taught him.

When Gaia learned that the power that he used to grow Cupid was used by Cupid to grow wings, his face at that moment was like a colorful picture scroll, extremely wonderful.

Aphrodite's gaze swept past Hera and Zeus, who were each accompanied by a goddess, Athena and a woman wearing a garland, a long white dress, and long emerald hair. strange girl.

From her divine breath, Aphrodite learned that she was Hera's youngest daughter, Hebe.

Athena had already sat on her throne, while Hebe lowered her head and dressed beside Hera. Her face was beautiful, and her sky-blue eyes were as blue as the sky after rain, clear and clear. Her appearance is not too beautiful in comparison with many outstanding goddesses, but she has a special fresh breath, and the first time she sees her, it gives people a feeling of brightening eyes.

Athena glanced at Hebe and gave Zeus a look, and Zeus said sullenly, "I'd like to introduce you, the goddess standing beside Hera is me and her daughter, Hebe, the goddess of youth."

Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and glanced at Poseidon vaguely. Poseidon pouted, seemingly disdainful.

Aphrodite looked at Athena again, and the goddess of wisdom was also looking at him with burning eyes. After meeting his gaze, she "showed" a fleeting smile, and then returned to indifference. Precious look.

Aphrodite withdrew her gaze and did not speak.

After Zeus introduced Hebe, he kept aiming at Aphrodite, as if waiting for Aphrodite's reaction.

Seeing that Aphrodite didn't even look at Hebo, he seemed a little disappointed, and he said, "I'm going to make Hebo a sommelier and give her a golden cup."

When the gods heard the words, they raised their heads one after another, and their faces were stunned.

Hera frowned, apparently Zeus hadn't told her about her decision beforehand, Hera refuted coldly: "No, Hebe is my goddess, how can I serve the gods? If you don't have a sommelier, order it yourself. Nymphs, don't call my daughter."

Zeus said lightly: "How can this be called a commander, I just pity her and give her one more priesthood."

Aphrodite scoffed lightly: "The gods each have their own priesthood, and together they run the order of the gods. Their functions have their own meanings, and the only meaning of the sommelier's priesthood is to serve the gods. Heber Your Highness has a priesthood in itself, so why take such an unnecessary priesthood? Your Majesty, after all, Your Highness Heber is the goddess of you and the queen of gods, and you are belittling her by despising yourself, so why bother?"

Hebo didn't speak, but her white cheeks were flushed and her fists were clenched tightly. Zeus' words gave her a great humiliation and made her feel ashamed before the gods.

Zeus sneered when he heard the words, gave him a vicious look, and Aphrodite raised her eyebrows slightly.

However, Athena was restless, and a trace of dissatisfaction and annoyance flashed in the eyes of Zeus. She couldn't help urging Zeus and reminded: "Your Majesty, the temple..."

Zeus then withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "Could Prometheus, the creation of a new human, come?"

Prometheus walked out of the gods who were standing in order, knelt down and bowed, and said loudly: "Prometheus pays tribute to the king of the gods, the queen of gods, His Royal Highness Gaia and all the main gods."

Zeus said lightly: "Prometheus, as a god, you should also know what the meaning of human existence is. I will give them a month, and now they should dedicate their faith to the gods as a reward for the life that the gods gave them."

With a calm face, Prometheus said: "I understand what you mean, but I beg you to give humans another two years. The food they use now has not grown up, and the men who are strong and capable of hitting their prey are also extremely strong. Little, they haven't even solved the basic food problem, and they don't have clothing to cover their bodies. They rely on wild fruits in the mountains to cover their bodies, and the leaves in the forest to cover their bodies. At this time, it is a bit too much for them to worship the gods. Embarrassing them..."

The gods frowned and whispered.

Demeter caressed her beautiful fingernails covered in gorgeous patterns carelessly, and said softly, "What a pitiful human being, in comparison, the group of silver humans that I brought to the earth will be happy. Many, and I am the god of agriculture, I can shorten the cycle of their crops to grow into their belly. It is a pity that the king of gods does not allow new humans to worship me, so they can only slowly endure the torment of hunger. "

Prometheus did not speak, Zeus said lightly: "Half a year is enough time for some crops to mature, but hunting does not require time to wait. Prometheus, I order you to erect the temple of the gods in the human race immediately after you go back, Then I give them half a year, and after half a year, let human beings sacrifice a sturdy bull to me, and after that, they will officially worship the gods, and they can't shirk it for any reason."

"My temple should have 104 pillars, each pillar should be 108 meters high and 40 meters high. Since my requirements are a bit high, I can give them a hundred years. To be done."

You know how demanding you are!

"This is the specification of the temple, and it can be completed later. But every three months, humans will sacrifice to me once, offering their delicious sacrifices and devout beliefs."

"As for the requirements of other gods for temples and sacrifices, you will ask them later."

Prometheus was suffocated for a while, almost gasping for breath in his chest, and fainted on the spot.

Prometheus was stunned, looking at him in surprise and speechless: "Half a year is too short, God King. What's more, humans have no divine power, and it is difficult for them to hunt a bull."

Zeus said casually: "Isn't there still you?"

Prometheus said solemnly: "I can help them hunt once, but I can't help them hunt forever."

Zeus frowned: "I have given them a long time."

"But humans have to build temples for the gods, preside over sacrifices, hunt and grow crops to stabilize food and clothing. These things are too cumbersome."

Zeus looked at him coldly: "Prometheus, as a god who is not powerful, you have participated in the creation of new humans. This is a gift to you, and it is also your responsibility and obligation. You should do your best. to do it all, not to keep pushing back.”

Prometheus looked at Athena, Athena suppressed her anger, and said as calmly as possible: "Father, why don't we give humans more time, and the regular sacrifices will not start until the temple is established. Of course, the first game after half a year. The sacrifice must not fall, how?"

The gods frowned and said nothing, as if thinking about the measure.

Aphrodite didn't speak either. He didn't deal with Zeus. The more he spoke for human beings, Zeus would only be harsher to human beings. He'll have to wait until after the council is over to talk to Prometheus before thinking about what to do.

As for the regulations, let Zeus say it first, anyway, there are countermeasures and countermeasures.

Zeus looked at the gods angrily and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"

The main gods did not speak, which made the gods at the bottom do not know what to say.

The atmosphere in the Temple of the God King was a little awkward for a while, and Hermes had to smooth things out: "Our opinion is not! We follow the will of the God King!"

The gods hurriedly gave birth to agree, and Zeus's eyes were like electricity, and he kept "shooting" on the faces of the main gods.

Aphrodite said slowly, "Whatever."

After that, the main gods including Hestia slowly expressed their opinions.

Zeus was angry with these main gods, especially Hestia, who didn't expect her to be obedient.

Hestia was a little aggrieved and a little dissatisfied after being glared by Zeus. What was Zeus staring at her for? She just didn't want to appear too maverick among the main gods, he should blame himself for his incompetence!

Hestia turned around with a stiff face, facing him with the back of her head. Zeus was naturally angry again.

He said dissatisfiedly: "The conventional sacrifice of human beings is temporarily exempted. At the same time, the establishment of the Temple of the Gods has been shortened to seventy years, and the formal sacrifice will begin after the establishment of the temple. But after half a year, mankind will hold a feast, using Rich offerings welcome the gods, and before waking up and going to sleep every morning, they meditate on the names of the kings of gods and the gods they worship, and send them their devout beliefs."

Prometheus didn't say a word, his face was cloudy, and Athena was the same. She hesitated to tell her guesses.

As the goddess of wisdom, Athena is not stupid, and she personally participated in the creation of human beings and had close contact with human beings. She also has a sufficient understanding of human nature, and she also considered the issue of human belief that Aphrodite thought of.

She worries that under the harsh conditions of the gods, not only will humans not believe in the gods, but they will hate the gods instead. Let alone belief, it would be good if the gods did not receive resentment.

She wanted to remind Zeus and the gods not to take faith too seriously, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that Zeus would be so angry and attacked on the spot.

After all, to the gods, humans are as small as ants, and their lives come from the alms of the gods. If she knew that human beings were not pious to them at all, Athena felt that with Zeus's "nature" character, she could do such a thing as destroying and rebuilding a batch of these humans on the spot.

Thinking of this, Athena didn't say anything after that. Although the gods will be able to discover this when they offer sacrifices to the gods after half a year, but that is also half a year later.

It is better to live one more day than to let human beings die now. Let her use this time to see if she can do something.

Thinking of this, Athena felt a slump in her heart. It's still too unlucky for me, the main god is firmly controlled by Zeus, under his control without resisting him, it is so difficult to even express my true thoughts...

Zeus has already said this, and it is basically impossible to give in any more. When he saw what Prometheus had to say, he said yin and yang strangely: "Prometheus, why, I have pushed the temple to a hundred years, now All you want humans to do is a sacrifice in half a year, you can't even do this, right? If you can't do this, why did you take the role of creating a human in the first place?"

Prometheus had a cold face, thinking to himself, I am the leader of man because I am the son of Iapetus, and only the human vessel made by me can give birth to the soul and accommodate wisdom...

Well, don't think too much about it. I am the son of a traitor, and I cannot expect Zeus to be very trusting and friendly to me. Anyway, the fact that I lead man is not to express my loyalty to Zeus.

Prometheus lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I understand."

Prometheus was right, Zeus was indeed dissatisfied with his identity. Zeus didn't know that the godhead of the soul was deprived by Aphrodite, and he promised that Prometheus did have the purpose of using Prometheus' ability to create man.

He also knew how harsh the various requirements he put forward were for the new human beings, but so what? If humans can't fulfill his request, wouldn't that just give him an excuse to destroy and cleanse this group of humans who have memories of getting along with Prometheus?

At that time, as long as a couple of young men and women are left, he will be tolerant of the new human beings who have procreated from them and only know the name of his Zeus.

Zeus looked at him, sneered, and said lightly: "Then the council will end first, and the gods will go to him to register their architectural requirements for the temple. Don't delay for too long, you must cooperate well. Prometheus, after all, they only have seventy years."

Prometheus stood up with a cold face, and Aphrodite finally said: "Prometheus, then come with me first."

"Hephaestus, we are together, I also want to refer to your opinion to judge whether the building I envisage is feasible."

Hephaestus nodded, got up and left with Aphrodite.

Prometheus apologized to the gods: "Everyone, please go back to the temple first. After I return from His Highness Aphrodite, I will visit your temple one by one."

After that, he left behind Aphrodite and the others.

Zeus fiddled with the ring on his thumb, squinting as he watched them leave, his expression cold and unusually calm.

After leaving the temple of the gods, Prometheus asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness Aphrodite, the temple of the gods is a bit too complicated for human beings. What you can think of is simpler, and it will be rebuilt in the later period of human beings. Build?"

Aphrodite stared at him for a while, and sighed softly: "I can, but what if I make concessions? The gods will not lower their standards, and humans are still unable to escape the predicament at hand. "

Prometheus said calmly: "If the fate of mankind is destined to be destroyed, then I have nothing to do, but before the fate comes, I will do my best to give them a hope."

Aphrodite murmured, "Hope..."
